With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 381 You put this thing in your pocket?!

Node universe, New Varela.

Thanks to the genetic enhancement they had received, the physical fitness of Chen Fan and his group has been significantly improved imperceptibly.

In just a dozen minutes, Chen Fan and Wang Jing had already rushed to the edge of the forest from the central area.

Without the obstruction of the messy bushes and towering trees, Chen Fan could once again clearly see the vast Starry Plain.

As the interference source dissipated, the Starry Plains, which was originally completely covered by the phantom, also completely restored its original appearance.

At the end of the sight, starships of similar shapes are taking off and landing in an orderly manner above the brightly lit city. They are investigator starships responsible for assisting Xinghui City in its migration.

Chen Fan subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky.

Although the ghost fleet did not dissipate, it did not make any move. It just looked down at the planet quietly, as if waiting for something.

Chen Fan calmed himself and turned his gaze away from the Xinghui City in the distance and the ghost fleet above his head.

The most important thing right now is to get in touch with the Administration or other investigators as soon as possible - the disappearance of the information interference source seems to have produced a considerable impact. Now, Chen Fan and his team can't even get a smart terminal that can work properly.

"It happened!"

Wang Jing's urgent voice came from the side: "Something really happened to the research ship!!"

Chen Fan was shocked and quickly looked in the direction Wang Jing was looking.

The huge shuttle-shaped starship was leaning crookedly near the ground, with its head completely hanging above the ground, while the body and tail were floating in the air with difficulty.

Through the porthole at the head of the starship, one can clearly see that the interior of the starship cockpit is pitch black, with only a few emergency lights emitting very faint light.

Obviously, the source of information interference not only overwhelmed the ship's main brain, but also affected the energy system and anti-gravity system!

Wang Jing subconsciously took a few steps forward, but stopped suddenly when she was about to get close to the research ship.

"Academician Wang?" Chen Fan looked at Wang Jing with some confusion.

"There's something wrong with the anti-gravity system. We can't get close to it now."

A trace of fear flashed in Wang Jing's eyes, and she pointed to the ground below the head of the research ship: "Do you see it?"

Chen Fan looked in the direction of Wang Jing's finger.

A huge deep pit suddenly appeared on the flat ground made of poured concrete, and the bow of the research vessel had already sunk slightly into this deep pit full of cracks!
"hiss……"

Looking at the cracks that spread all the way to his feet, Chen Fan took a deep breath and said, "This..."

"The hull strength of the research vessel is very high, which also means that its quality is amazing."

Wang Jing looked at the research ship ahead with concern: "After the anti-gravity system fails, the research ship itself becomes an extremely dangerous hazardous item."

"Once the anti-gravity system completely fails, it will even sink directly into the ground under the action of gravity."

"Of course, the research vessel itself is strong enough to withstand the pressure of the earth's core, so there won't be any problems."

As they were talking, several more cracks appeared on the ground beneath the research ship - the sinking of the research ship was still continuing.

"...What should we do now?" Chen Fan was completely dumbfounded after hearing Wang Jing's words, "Are we just going to watch the research ship sink into the ground?"

Wang Jing glanced at Chen Fan and said unhappily, "Nonsense! Of course not!"

"Go check on your investigator starship. If it can still be started normally, use it to tow the research ship."

“Then notify the Administration.”

"...Let them send people to repair the research ship?" Chen Fan asked subconsciously.

"No."

Wang Jing said calmly: "Report to them that we are safe, so that the human fleet won't come directly to this universe bubble."

Chen Fan: "..."

"Then, what's next?" Chen Fan looked straight at the research ship in front of him, "This, this research ship..."

"Wait." Wang Jing shrugged and said casually, "It should be fine after waiting for a while."

Chen Fan: “Ah???”

"The research ship has a self-repair mechanism."

Wang Jingyao pointed in the direction of the cockpit: "Look, see, the emergency indicator light in the cockpit is still on, which means the self-repair mechanism is still online."

"I guess that the excessive information flow directly overwhelmed the redundant system of the ship's mainframe, causing the entire internal system to crash. As long as the self-repair system starts to intervene, it will not take long for it to complete the restart and repair work."

As he spoke, Wang Jing turned and walked quickly towards the khaki starship docked in the distance.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and followed Wang Jing's footsteps.

Tens of seconds later.

When Wang Jing was still a dozen meters away from the khaki-colored "Varilla", he suddenly stopped again.

Looking at Wang Jing's back, Chen Fan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Wang, Academician Wang?"

Chen Fan's voice trembled a little.

"..." Wang Jing was silent for a moment, and a hint of numbness appeared in her voice, "Chen Fan, your investigator starship...seems to have crashed as well."

"When the information interference source dissipated, it might have released a burst of extremely short-lived information pulses to the surroundings."

The mass of the Investigator starship was not that large, and after the anti-gravity system failed and the output power dropped, it just stayed quietly on the ground.

Although there were a few shallow cracks on the ground, it was much better than the research ship. Chen Fan walked quickly forward and came to the cockpit door of the Varela.

Nothing happens.

Looking at the tightly closed cabin door, Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his hair hard.

Both starships were grounded and the smart terminal also went down.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have now been beaten back to the primitive age.

As for the other investigators... they are all in Xinghui City, hundreds of kilometers away.

Normally, hundreds of kilometers would be just a blink of an eye, but now, these few hundred kilometers have become a real chasm! !

——By the time Chen Fan arrived at Xinghui City to report the news, it is estimated that the Human Fleet would have already landed in the node universe!
"Academician Wang, is there a way to open the hatch from the outside?"

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at Wang Jing for help.

"...There should be." Wang Jing hesitated, "The smart terminal worn by the investigator is deeply bound to the starship."

"Even if the starship malfunctions, the starship hatch can still be opened manually from the outside and inside with the help of the built-in chip of the smart terminal. This door opening method basically adopts a mechanical structure, so it will not be affected by information interference sources."

"only……"

Under Chen Fan's gaze, Wang Jing took a step forward and tapped the tightly sealed armor on the side of the starship hatch with her fingers: "To ensure safety, the external mechanical switch is hidden in the starship armor."

“Without professional tools…”

"Theoretically, it should be impossible to remove this armor."

Chen Fan frowned and, imitating Wang Jing's example, walked forward and knocked on the side armor of the Varela's hatch.

The cavity sound is not very obvious, and the thickness of the armor layer can be seen.

"Ugh……"

Wang Jing shook her head, sighed, and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that now we can only pin our hopes on the self-repair system of the scientific research ship. I don't know if the self-repair system developed by the Academy of Sciences is reliable..."

"and many more!"

Chen Fan's heart moved, and he interrupted Wang Jing's words: "I have a way!"

Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, and cast a surprised look at Chen Fan: "You have tools?"

"No." Chen Fan shook his head and reached into his right trouser pocket to pull out a flat disc-shaped object, "But I have this."

"...A personal antimatter bomb?!"

Wang Jing's voice suddenly rose: "You put this thing in your pocket?!"

"I'm used to it." Chen Fan happily shook the flat disc in his hand. "It's more convenient to hold it this way. If something happens, I can fight back immediately."

Isa, who caught up with Chen Fan later, twitched her eyes slightly and her wide hood shook a little.

Under the hood, she smiled awkwardly and said to Wang Jing, "Academician Wang, Chen Fan...has always been like this."

"How about it?"

"Academician Wang, this thing should work, right?" Chen Fan bent down and took out another round disk from his left trouser pocket. "If it's not enough, I have another one here."

Now it was Wang Jing's turn to be silent: "..."

What kind of person is this? !

It would be fine if he just put the antimatter bomb in his trouser pocket, but he actually put two of them!!
Two! Two individual antimatter bombs! !

If they were to be triggered by mistake, these two antimatter bombs would be enough to literally blow all of them into powder!!
"The current investigator starship does not have any shield system. Once the energy supply is cut off, the defensive power of the armor will be greatly reduced..."

Looking at Chen Fan, who was smiling in front of her, Wang Jing subconsciously took a half step back, and her voice became stuttering: "Theoretically speaking..."

"The power of a single antimatter bomb is sufficient..."

"I think so..." Wang Jing added hesitantly.

She really has no experience in this area! !
Using a single-soldier antimatter bomb to blow up their own investigator starship, listen, is this something a human can do? !
"Well, you'll know if you try it." Chen Fan carelessly placed the disc-shaped antimatter bomb on the area that Wang Jing had just pointed out. After skillfully adjusting the countdown, he quickly pressed the mechanical trigger switch.

Standing aside, Wang Jing felt terrible watching Chen Fan's skillful operation.

After a brief moment of daze, she turned around without saying a word and ran towards the research ship in the distance.

Although most of the power of the bomb will be absorbed by the investigator starship, for safety reasons, it is obviously necessary to find a more reliable shelter!

When Chen Fan and his group all retreated to the back of the research ship, Isa seemed to have noticed something and suddenly raised her head to look at the sky.

At some point, a blood-red spot of light appeared in the sky.

Relying on the mechanical prosthetic eye, Isa quickly saw the true face of the light spot.

It was a crystal-shaped starship.

"Chen Fan, someone is coming!"

She stretched out her hand and pointed at the blood-red dot in the sky: "It's Redstone! Redstone is coming!"

Chen Fan subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the sky.

boom! ! !
A violent explosion of flames lit up outside the Starry Forest!
The heavy Investigator starship was like being hit by a sledgehammer. Even with the anti-gravity system stabilizing the ship, it still fell heavily into the starry forest in the distance.

After smashing down countless giant trees, the khaki investigator starship stabilized itself and stopped in the forest in a messy manner.
